It’s self hatred; a generational mess most refuse to acknowledge let alone do anything about. There’s the tree of life and the tree with the knowledge of good and evil. Our ancestors (ultimate influences) meant well when they constantly shoved the idea of good and bad into our minds but it was often done at the absence of teaching us anything about life, ourselves. Anxious because you have no peace, angry because you are without joy, lonely because you’re not kind… A person I know called their child depressed and overwhelmed. My first thought is no Mom, that’s you and your child isn’t depressed she simply doesn’t know what brings her joy, she’s not overwhelmed she lacks self control because discipline equals punishment and not course correction. Rules and regulation passed off as protection now aiding so many in creating lives… they hate.
